"This is probably one of the first training manuals for African publishers to come from an African imprint, and this one – co-published with the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Co-operation ACP-EU – is targeted primarily at NGOs with publishing activities. It aims to equip users with basic and relevant skills in publishing by first discussing concepts and then providing tips and examples. To reinforce the lessons, a range of exercises follow each chapter. The book contains many useful suggestions, it is attractively designed, has a good range of model forms, and makes effective use of icons to draw attention to new terms, to provide tips and advice, and warn about potential pitfalls. However, one or two chapters are somewhat flawed, particularly the section on electronic publishing." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 2480)
